#907; The Unpleasant Analogy

Comic Transcripts

[[Outdoors. Someone in a dark shirt and pants addresses someone in a light-colored three-piece suit and a wide-brimmed hat.]]
Someone in Dark Clothes: I think your hat looks dumb.
Someone with a Hat: Well, you know what they say about opinions! They’re like buttholes

[[The same as panel 1 but zoomed in slightly]]
Someone with a Hat: Covered in misshapen polyps, awkward and uncomfortable to examine
Someone in Dark Clothes: Uh

[[A closer shot of Someone with a Hat on a swirling vortex background. His face is shadowed and his eyes are wide.]]
Someone with a Hat: and you don’t know if everyone else’s are as painful as your own and maybe they’re just good at hiding it, so you’ve never learned whether the agony yours causes you is normal and expected, or if you should risk the embarrassment and vulnerability of serious scrutiny. So it just sits there

[[An even closes shot with even darker shadows. His eyes are slitted now.]]
Someone with a Hat: stinking in the dark
Someone in Dark Clothes: I think you should see a doctor

The vast majority of Bolted! game shipments are already shipped, but I understand if you don’t have yours yet, who cares. Here’s a progress report:

Total orders | 1052
Surveys completed | 992
Fully shipped | 946

Incomplete surveys

Obviously, if I don’t have your shipping address, I can’t ship your game! Let me know if you are missing a survey link. As new responses come in, they are rapidly added to the shipping queue.

Orders containing certain add-ons

Some of the add-ons proved more popular than expected — which is lovely! But it meant I had to reprint some stickers, make all the individual comic prints, request a shipment of books from offsite storage, etc, etc. So, any orders which contain an out-of-stock item are still waiting to ship.

All that missing stuff, though, is en route to me at this very second! So those orders will be going out pretty dang soon!

Custom items

I’ve already been in touch directly with the backers who ordered custom collages! Those will be created (and sent to you) after all the other shipments are complete. I’m excited for those, they’ll be fun! My pleasant dessert after the hearty meal of all the other orders.

Anything wrong?

I’m very grateful to the few folks who’ve contacted me to report some kind of issue with their shipment! Thankfully, problems are rare, but when they do occur, I would like to solve them. Please don’t hesitate to send me an email (replying to your shipping confirmation works great) if there’s anything about your order I can correct.

Reviews & photos

On BoardGameGeek are highly appreciated!

Unless you hate the game! You are entitled to that opinion, but please send that review directly to me instead of telling anyone else, so I can eat it and bury it in the yard and watch it grow into a twisted, gnarled tree. Or whatever!
